HEALTHY FOOD

PYRAMID

There are some pupils in our school who are overweight. They feel bad because of this problem. In PT classes they cannot play many games, run and jump. They are very shy and unsure. Seeing all this, we decided to help them to lose weight and to teach them how to feed on correctly.

We found the Food Pyramid on the Internet trying to understand “what the Food Pyramid is” . We were divided into 3 groups and addressed this question to the pupils, teachers and parents.

Here we have survey results. Pupils

As we see, results are pessimistic. What can be offered? Thus learn to teach others!

First we created a booklet that showed the aim of our project Then we created a blog and started to share

All food is made of nutrients which our body uses

There are

different kinds of nutrients:

proteins fats

• carbohydrates

Meat have protein and this helps us to grow.

Bread and cereals give us energy.

Fruit and vegetables helps our digestion and has lots of vitamins and minerals.

Fat and sugar is not very good for us. So it is important not to eat it very often.

Dairy products provides calcium and are important for

• ur teeth and bones

Our next step was to research meal habits of students of our school. The question was: What do you usually have for ...?

now we see the results

What results do you have? We have interviewed 20 students. Most students at our school eat lots of sweets and not much vegetables and fruits. Almost everyone have three meals a day. Some pupils eat junk food but not often. We can make a conclusion that our students need some recommendation.

First of all: Eating more fruits and vegetables is healthier because they are rich in nutrients that help children grow and stay

• healthy. They are also a good option to eat

when you want a snack, instead of eating an unhealthy food like chips or sweets

We should cut down on fat, sugar and salt. We have to know a bit more about the kind of food these things might be in

Do you remember what the food pyramid is for? Try to remember the different sections of the pyramid.

Now you know that the food pyramid is a diagram that represents a healthy diet by placing food groups in a pyramid according to the number of servings from each group to be eaten every day.

Knowing all these facts try to build your

The wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings. Let food be your medicine.
